Khalid's Challenge

Rate this book
Their past haunts them, their future together remains tantalizingly out of reach.... Once upon a time, Khalid Steinsson and Pran Devan were deeply in love. They were planning their future and planning a commitment ceremony to each other. The unthinkable happened and the two were torn apart. Both men have changed. Pran carries his fiery anger as a shield against everything around him. Khalid carries his pain hidden underneath layers of icy cool restraint. It will take something monumental to either bring them back together, or tear them apart forever.

擬獣化人たちのSF設定な話でストーリーは王道ですが、身分違いのすれ違い設定というのはスラッシュ小説で読んだのはこれが初めてというのもあり新鮮です。それに、設定も話もしっかり書けていて良かったです。

あらすじは、年上の虎人とハーフ虎人の若い恋人同士が、ハーフ虎人の片親が誰なのか分かったことをきっかけに二人は身分違いな関係になってしまい、年上の虎人が泣く泣く心を鬼にしてハーフ虎人のために二人の関係を終わらせ、それから数十年して二人は再会するという展開。

このハーフ虎人は、年上の虎人が自分を裏切ったと誤解しているのに対し、年上の虎人はハーフ虎人が自分の真意を分かっていないことに悲しみ腹立っていて、二人は再会後も対立するんですが、私はこうゆう悲しいすれ違い話にとても弱いので、読んでいて泣いてしまいました。

ラストはハッピーエンドなので、擬獣化人たち設定がOKで、王道なすれ違いが好きならお勧め。
ちなみに、この話はシリーズものの一つですが、単独で読んでもほぼOKです。でも、順番に読む方がこの話を読むときに深みが増すと思います。
注意点としては、SF設定なので見慣れない単語がよく出てきてちょっと読みにくいです。
